I don't read most of the OT posts, so have not kept up with the
arguments on how stupid Bush is and how smart Kerry is. Or how Kerry
got into Yale on merit and Bush got in because his father went there
and he got a legacy pass.

But I do read the Wall Street Journal and yesterday there was a small
article on the editorial page about Kerry military record. Kerry did
not release his military record before the election, but now he has.
Nothing there significant about his military service, but it does have
his transcripts from Yale which were part of his application for
officer training.

It turns out that Kerry got 4 D's his freshman year. And his grade
average for four years was 76. Bush's grade average for four years was
not all that great either. It was 77.

So there you have it. Two C students running for president. But
unless you have graduated from an Ivy League School, you should not
snear too much.
